Nevertheless, a lot has been happening. After racing the Creampuff, Nelson is on The Continent racing TransAlp. Gant and Grant (I love typing that) rode a super consistent race for the entire BC Bike Race and did themselves proud.
For those with less time on their hands, Portland STXC is keeping Julie, Brynje, David, Dan and Patrick busy. The latter two have been helping bring some little grommets along by holding a junior clinic, and it looks like David wrapped up the Expert 40+ series.
Christian continues to rack up PIR points like there’s no tomorrow. If it’s flat, fast, and hard, he’s your man.
Browning and I decided to race Cascade on a lark. Despite the somewhat last minute decision, we did a credible job of faking it in the 35+ field despite each being on the downslope of some previously decent form. John was 9th on GC and I was 10th. Aaron Sander also had a very good GC effort.
John, of course, took the Tabor series title the week preceding Cascade. My series result was more a reflection of showing up to race every week than actually riding fast. Sometimes showing up is half the battle, eh?
More to come soon. The mornings have been a bit chilly lately. What does that mean to you?
